Accessible sailing on Lake Garda

Discover inclusive sailing in Garda Trentino

Two days dedicated to accessibility and outdoor activities in Garda Trentino. The Archè Open Days are an opportunity to discover inclusive sailing and step aboard Archè, a 12-metre sailing boat designed to be accessible also for people with reduced mobility.

• Friday afternoon focuses on insights and sharing: a round table presents different accessible outdoor opportunities in the area, while the boat is open for visits in the harbour, where staff explain its accessible features and activities.
• On Saturday, it’s time to sail: after a short briefing, you’ll head out on the lake for an experience of about one hour, discovering inclusive sailing in a shared and welcoming environment.
